I have several Win. model 12s all skeet, trap or some rare combo like a pair of I/C Vent rib guns that are 2 s/n apart one in 12 the other in 20. I also have model 42's in skeet
and a trap 2 bbl set in both 30 and 32" with solid rib. I shoot all my competitions with a model 12.

Many interesting responses, thanks everyone for giving us an insight into your non Parker interests. Sometimes I turn off to non sxs's but the other designs are all part of our rich American firearms history. I must admit my love of the Winchester model 12 Duck and Remington model 11 grade E and F.

I have a Nice model 12 12ga with solid rib I like a lot, killed my first duck with a model 1987 12ga.... But, never liked the 97's as much as the 12's.....

But have to admit, that no matter how much I like my model 12, not nearly as much as the SxS's I own.....

Along with the guns mentioned I have to admit to a fondness for pre-war through early 70's Browning Superpose shotguns.

Daryl I remember as a kid growing up in the 60's and dreaming if only someday I could own and hunt with a Browning Superposed I would be in tall cover! Then I was introduced to hunting by my Uncle Bill, an AH Fox man. :)

All those in my accumulation are in the 1950-1970 range . But let’s not forget the Remington Model 32 O/U as well as the Krieghoff versions .

Same here Craig. I remember answering an ad in, I think Field & Stream, for the "newest Browning catalog, free". I drooled over the shotguns especially the Double auto and the colored receivers. I finally bought one of the .22 LR's just a few years ago and added it to the superpose scatterguns in the safe.

I still have the catalog as it was just so well done. I'll have to go dig it out to relive my misspent yute. (My apologies to Joe Pesci)

If you want some Double Auto's in the pretty anodized colors I can probably turn you on to several of them :whistle:

A guy down here that called himself a Browning collector had about 50 of the double auto's of which we've sold a few for him . He has a NIB Superposed Midas Broadway I tried and tried to get but he wouldn't put a price on it :banghead:

Here's a mid-60's Grade 1 .410, 28" F/M. Looks to be the Grade 1 woodpile lottery winner.

Wow!! That certainly beats the wood on any of my Grade 1s!! A 1950 20-gauge --
